Common questions
Does the Granary Camera feeder need a subscription?
No for the basics. Feeding, scheduling and live view are free. Cloud video storage is an optional paid plan if you want recorded clips kept.
Can it feed two cats?
With the dual-bowl splitter it dispenses into two bowls, though the portion is split between them rather than controlled per cat. For true per-cat control you need a microchip feeder.
What kibble size works?
Dry food from roughly 2 to 15mm. Very large kibble can stick at the outlet, which is the main thing to check against your cat's food.
